Basil, with the warmer temps we've been having, it's growing like mad everywhere. And it's also evidently hiding out in my kitchen freezer, since I just found a giant jar of pesto I made awhile back, lurking behind some cappuccino popsicles. As soon as I discovered it, I was on a mission to make something with it...something great...but what? Pesto pasta, pesto pizza, pesto salad? After taking a quick inventory of my kitchen goods, I decided to go with a tart. You can never go wrong with a tart.

I always forget about the puff pastry in the freezer...Just hanging out ready for something savory instead of something sweet...Great idea!! I make pesto and freeze it in one of those silicone mini muffin "pans." Pesto pucks. I used them all year for bruschetta or on pasta. This tart is now on the menu!
